David Deanie the magician provides entertainment for a whole host of different events. From corporate events to weddings and even small parties, David entertains with his close up magic.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

Anyone can learn a magic trick but it’s a bit more challenging to pursue a career as a full time magician and I can’t believe I get to do what I love every day. I joined the Glasgow School of Magic in 2000 which, despite what many people believe, is nothing to do with Hogwarts. After winning competitions, learning from other magicians and graduating with a degree in international business, I then started to look at a career and decided to set up my own business. I had been accepted as an Associate of the Inner Magic Circle with Silver Star for performing at the world famous Magic Circle (which is quite rare). After seven years of being a full time magician I haven’t looked back - I have been able to do something I enjoy and support my beautiful wife and two daughters. It is the best job in the world!

What do you like most about what you do?

I really enjoy the variety and the challenge of what I do. Every day is different - I can be flown internationally to perform one day and the next day I am performing at a golf club 5 minutes along the road. I perform at all the standard events you might expect to see a magician like a wedding or a corporate event. However, it’s always exciting when I have a private booking that cannot be disclosed, like an embassy, media, or VIP event - magicians are notoriously good at keeping secrets!

How have you found using Add to Event?

It is easy to use and looks very professional. It makes it quick and easy to respond to leads and simple to find out details of each event. It is very useful having the distance to each event, it saves a lot of time and means you can get back to leads sooner.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go?

I had a last minute lead for a wedding - I had all of the details and everything was booked very quickly and efficiently. The Add to Event website made it easy to see when there were replies and save going back and forth like many other agencies and websites. I would definitely recommend this site to both suppliers and clients because it has worked so well for me.
